Outrageous claims made by a professor who specializes in conspiracy theories are set to provoke grieving family by saying that the Sandy Hook massacre may not have happened at all.

James Tracy, a tenured history professor at Florida Atlantic University, wrote a lengthy post on his personal blog saying that the shooting that left 20 children and six teachers dead may not have happened the way that it is widely believed, if it happened at all.

Backed solely by the erroneous early reports filed during the midst of the horrendous incident, Mr Tracy 's claim is preying on the confusion of the tragic day.

'While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place -- at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described,' he has said.

The 47-year-old professor bases his outrageous claims largely on the flurry of conflicting media reports that were made as news of the shooting was released throughout the day on December 14.

I don’t know why anybody should be surprised that rumors fly while such events are in progress and immediately afterward, and that a very great many of them turn out to be inaccurate.

I believe in a slightly different context it’s called “the fog of war.”

In the MSM it’s made much worse by a desperate need to have something to report, and even more to be the first to report it. Any outlet that acted responsibly and reported that they really didn’t know yet would immediately lose its audience to one that was reporting something, even if it later turned out to be wrong.

Not to worry. As soon as they have the complete story lined up the way they “need” it to line up they’ll give us the “real”story. (Slight cough of B*** S***! in to hand.) The msm, as usual, boned this whole thing up from the git-go. The old “I had my hand raised first” syndrome. In the end, everybody gets a trophy. Maybe even a pull-it-sir prize or two.

His nuttyness aside, his age is relevant to this because he is most certainly a white man. Specifying his age puts him in that oh-so-hated category of “The Barrack” in this country that have begun their tirade that “Old White Men” are this country’s new N word and a bunch of dinosaurs, who when they die off, will allow the Barack to realize their utopian version of Eden - except without the religion part.

Conspiracy theorists have a form of mental illness. I have a friend who was a large trader at the CBOT. A few years ago he was worth millions, married to a knockout woman, 3 great kids and a brownstone in a tony section of Chicago.
About 3 years ago we were having dinner and he tells me 9/11 was a set up and it was to fund a trillion dollar war on terror. I knew right then he’d lost it. He started trading on these theories and soon lost everything.

Usually a respected trader with a good track record can get some sort of backing except he’d been telling folks about his theories and no one was willing to back him.

Fast Forward...He’s now living in a studio apartment bagging groceries his wife has left him.
I just saw him recently and he comes out and say’s Sandy Hook was a set up by Holder to take away our guns.

'As documents relating to the Sandy Hook shooting continue to be assessed and interpreted by independent researchers, there is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults was intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends,' he wrote.

"[T]here is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults [IS] intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends."

Without his outrageous claim his statement of fact never had a chance of ever appearing in any newspaper; with the outrageous claim.. behold! that fact has appeared in one of the tens of thousands of MSM articles. The newspaper employee slipped up. It won't happen again.

Outrageous claims made by a professor who specializes in conspiracy theories are set to provoke grieving family by saying that the Sandy Hook massacre may not have happened at all.

This is no more outrageous than the coverup of what really happened that is ongoing now and certainly no more outrageous than the knee-jerk reaction that what happened in Sandy Hook means that all guns are bad and all guns must be confiscated.

Outrageous claims? The libs have a lock on those.

This is the crux of the problem, the more the media practices intentional malpractice in the process of pushing a pointed liberal agenda the much more respected the conspiracy kooks will be among the populace....

Here is some conspiracy evidence that I think has been overlooked by most everyone including the tenured professor.

The evidence I cite involves those therapy dogs that were sent to Newtown to comfort the grieving “actor-parents”. I contend that they were actually fake comfort dogs because real comfort dogs would be able to tell that the “actor parents” were just faking their grief and would not have licked their faces. Just sayin’.

Of course, the most logical and most likely answer is that United Way, from their HQ down to this local office in Connecticut, is engaged in a massive conspiracy, probably took part in the "shootings" themselves, and it probably all has to do with The War on Christmas(tm). Or something like that. I'm still working on that part.

Is it not the only explanation at this point?!?!

(Really, this was exactly the type of kookery I referenced in my first post).
